SHIPPING- 

Note

SHIPPING

Shipping is paid for out of the MTD account for which the missionary Reliant employee is responsible.  

All items are shipped when pulled/printed so they will usually ship separately. 

You can not add something to an original order. You will need to create a new order with anything that needs to be added or changed Since items ship from Copycat as they are pulled, the shipping price should not change even with adding a whole separate order rather than combining to the original order.You will not have to provide payment on Chalk Line; the shipping fees will be billed to your MTD account by Reliant Central.

Items you can Order on Chalk Line 

 

We Are Reliant Brochure

Most people in initial MTD order around 200 for giving to potential donors at the end of an MTD presentation. The missionary profile The profile card (below) is designed to be placed inside the brochure, and your photo will show through, making you the face of Reliant.

Note

These brochures are ordered in packs of 50, so to order 200 brochures, order 4 packs of 50 at CopyCat.

Ministry Profile Card

We don't all work with the same ministries, and we know that donors need to have your local ministry and church front and center. The Missionary Profile Card is a core MTD piece designed to leave be left at every MTD appointment. Part leaving piece + calling card + How to Give brochure, you upload your own photos to this item, and CopyCat Chalk Line will print it for you with professional quality. 

Most people in initial MTD order around 200.

Here are some quick notes for your Profile Card Design:

  • The description of your ministry can be the same description you used for your reliant.org/first.last site. If you are wondering what to write, try these three sentences
    • Sentence 1: "Jill is a missionary in (location), serving at (name of church or ministry)."
    • Sentence 2: "Some of her favorite roles in ministry include (list roles)."
    • Sentence 3: "Jill is passionate about (Write about your passion for why you are doing ministry)."
  • Make sure that your location, ministry and FD# look correct.
    • Note: one of the most common mistakes is that people will add in FD even though it's already in the template so their cards will end up saying FDFD#### so make sure to check the preview before moving forward.
  • The circle watermark is there for combining this piece with the MTD leaving piece.
    • The circle photo is designed to show through the empty circle space in the MTD leaving piece once you put the MTD profile card inside of it. 
    • It is best to use a photo that is not too close up and also has some empty (non important) space on the left side of the picture since it will be cut off from the slant of the design.  
    • The placement of the photo is not centered so ideally you are looking for a photo (or cropping a photo) that has the most important part to view in the middle right portion. 
  • If you have any issues with adjusting your photo to fit correctly into the missionary profile card, or any other CopyCat issues, please email communications@reliant.org and we will be happy to assist you.

MTD Presentation Album

The MTD Presentation Album (sometimes we call it the MTD "Photo Album") is the visual storytelling aid that is essential to sharing your story. This high-quality, hardbound photo book is the new and upgraded edition of this item that all Reliant missionaries learned to use in their New Staff Training days. It walks through a familiar walks through the flow: the need, the answer to the need, and "I am Reliant; I can't do this alone."

Our wire-bound, 8.5" by 5.5" book is similar to photo books ordered from Shutterfly or other popular photo sites. Every page is custom designed by you (how to do it is below), and it easily lets you drop in digital photos of ministry, key facts to explain your mission field, and logos from your local church or network. Once created using google slides, you upload the PDF file to CopyCat for a matte-finish hardcover and glossy-photo interior pages that looks great whether you're sharing in a coffee shop, living room or a business office.Chalk Line.
